The Great Falls of the Passaic River, a National Natural Landmark, is the premier attraction at Paterson Great Falls. Visitors and photographers may want to get a panoramic view of it from Overlook Park, or they may prefer a close-up, multi-sensory experience in the misty spray of the falls at Mary Ellen Kramer Park.
There is a guided tour of the park where guests can learn about the town’s industrial heritage, or visitors can opt for a self-guided tour with the aid of a free downloadable smartphone app.
The Welcome Center is ready to assist guests mid-May through the end of November.
